The service is friendly and attentive - Mike took good care of us. The menus is limited for tapas BUT the hummus was delicious fresh and the contrast of dark cherries was creative we loved it. The beef kabobs are a favorite though I prefer lamb. I would definitely return and I will wait for the new menu - hopefully there will be more diversity on the small plates ( fish option).

We came to Vidrio as a dinner date night but also to evaluate it as a spot for our wedding rehearsal dinner.
Our food and drinks took a long time to come out and this was not the fault of our waiter. He was doing his best taking orders and bussing tables, but our area was understaffed and required at least 2 waiters. Our first round of drinks came out 50 minutes after we were seated and at the point we already started our entrees. It seemed like the kitchen and bar was not equipped to handle the number of guests.
We ordered the moroccan beef skewers, cheese croquettes, hanger steak and lamb loin. The beef skewers were good and I would recommend. The cheese croquettes came out room temperature and contain a bechamel sauce rather than cheese so it was not our favorite. The hanger steak was well seasoned but the green onion garnished was gritty as if it was not washed well. The worst dish was the lamb loin. It came with 3 “boquerones” that had no business being paired with lamb; it was extremely fishy which is not characteristic of boquerones. The lamb was also overcooked.
Overall this place has a lot of potential because the decor and atmosphere was nice, but misses the mark on food and service. We would not come back here to dine, let alone consider this place for a rehearsal dinner or private event.

This was our second time here and it was even better than the first time. Our server Mike was very attentive, sweet, and had a wonderful sense of humor. We enjoyed the carrots and the cheese balls (can't remember the name of the dishes) from the small plates. The balls had layers of flavors that just kept going. :) We also tried the seared hallumi cheese and the lamb. The lamb was cooked to perfection and the arugula and candied lemon really made the cheese pop. For dessert we tried the Moroccan lemon cake. When eating a bite with the rum sauce and the raspberry Gelato, I had an out of body experience. 😍 Highly recommend going here!

Have been a couple of times to the bar and for restaurant week decided to make a table reservation. My friend and I tried almost everything on the restaurant week menu. The seasonings were delicious on the steak and the desserts were also delicious and well thought out. The interior dining area is beautiful.

Excellent tapas place in Glenwood area, also has a great area upstairs for events. Highly recommend the wine list, the octopus, and the rest of the seafood options. Really good.

Had a great birthday dinner here, thanks to son and daughter in law, in March. Very interesting decor, lovely place. The tapas style serving of food was cool. About time we finished one dish of food amongst us, the next item came out. You just tell the rest what you'd like next. Great that four of us tried each dish. Wonderful being able to eat such a variety.
Excellent food and presentation. Highly suggest trying Vidrio.
We recently had our wedding at Vidrio, and it was amazing! When searching for venues, we definitely wanted something that was all-inclusive, affordable, and a place we wouldn't need to bring a lot of decorations. Vidrio checked all those boxes. We were able to utilize the entire second floor, which included the bridal suite, the mezzanine for the ceremony, the bar area for our cocktail hour, and the banquet room for our reception. We also loved the food! Our guests couldn't stop raving about how delicious and unique it was. They even coordinated with us to have hot dog late-night bites, which were important to my now husband and I.
In addition, the Vidrio team was great to work with. They were super responsive and made preparation completely stress-free on the big day. It was clear they cared about getting every detail just right.
Thank you again, Vidrio, for making our wedding day so special!

If you’re looking for a spot that perfectly blends vibrant Mediterranean flavors with a unique, eclectic atmosphere, Vidrio is a must-visit! We recently had a fantastic dining experience here and were blown away by both the food and the service.
We started with a couple of small plates—the Fig and Bleu Cheese Flatbread, which had a perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the Moroccan Beef Skewers, which were flavorful and beautifully spiced. For our large plates, the Seared Ōra King Salmon was cooked to perfection—tender and buttery with a crisp sear—and the Grilled Lamb Loin was incredibly juicy and well-seasoned.
What really elevated our night was our server, Lawrence, who also happened to be a sommelier. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly—offering excellent recommendations for both food and wine pairings that really enhanced the meal.
The decor is just as memorable as the menu—an eclectic and artistic space that makes the whole evening feel special. Whether you’re out on a date night or catching up with friends, Vidrio has the right vibe.
Highly recommend—can’t wait to come back!

This was everything. Attentive service, food was incredible, who thinks to char romaine lettuce and have it tasting like a gourmet side dish,like what. It was esthetically pleasing. I went on a Friday night and it wasn't crowded. The only maybe down side is the streets were closed off after a certain time of night to allow for the club goers. But plenty of garage parking ,half a block away. 10 out of 10.

Second visit for me. Good both times. Lovely small plates of all kinds. Great service. Interesting environment. The bartender saved me by asking if I wanted my drink spicy or not (not). I hadn't realized what one of the ingredients was. I've visited before and though I didn't love every small plate I tried, it was all great quality and a wonderful experience. Everyone at my table of 3 had a great dinner.
